FOUNTAIN-PEN.

Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed March 13,

1913. Serial No. 754,040.

To all whom, it may concem:

Be it known that I, Amman FARMER, a subject of the King of Great Britain, residing at 110 Bunhill' Row, in the city of Lon don, England, have invented new and useful Improvements in Fountain-Pens, of which the following is a specification. 7

This invention. relates to improvements in fountain pens.

A cording to this invention the ink feed bar is pressed outward, that is into its working position b the action of a. spring. ()n the inside of thecap, which fits over the nib when not; in use, is a plug having a coned end for fitting into the corresponding coned end of the pen and on the cap is a screw thread engaging with a screw thread on the pen. As the cap is screwed onto the pen the plug pushes back the feed bar against the action of the spring and when the cap is fully screwed on, theend of plug is firmly seated on the coned end, thus preventing any leaka e.

The drawings illustrate a pen made in accordance with this invention.

Figure l is a longitudinal section of a pen with the cap screwed upon it while Fig. 2 is a similar view with the cap removed. Fig. is a longitudinal section of the cap and Figs. 4 and 5 show the ink feed bar.

The pen is made in two parts a and b' screwed togethgr at c, the part b carrying the nib (/3. Beifeath the nib a is an ink feed bar e pressed outward by a. spring f contained in the cavity 9 in which it is held by a pin it on the part b..- On the inside of the l cap 17 is a plugj having a coned end I: adapt 1 ed to fit into the coned end of the part b. l

Copies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by

inward and a conical end The cap i is provided with an internal screw Z by which it is attached to the pen and as the cap is screwed onto the pen the plug j pushes the feed bar a back against the action of the spring f and when it is fully screwed on the end It is firmly seated on the end of the part b and so pre'vcnts leakage.

What I claim is 1. A fountain pen consisting of a pen body, a nib fixed thereto, a movable ink feed bar located below the nib, and a spring adapted to press the feed bar outward.

2. A fountain "pen consistin of a pen body, a nib fixed thereto, a mova le ink feed bar located below the nib, a spring adapted to press the feed bar outward, and a cap carrying. a plug adapted to press the ink feed bar inward.

4. A fountain pen, consisting of a pen body, a seat on the end of the pen body, a nib fixed to the pen body, a movable ink i'ecd bar located below the nil), a spring adapted to press the feed bar outward, a cap, a plug on the cap adapted to press the ink feed bar on the plug adapted tt'l: fit the seat on the pen bod ALFRE 1) FA R M'l'l It.
